5/9

Answer 2

P (over 6 feet tall or good aim) = 5/9

Explanation:

We are given that there are a total of 27 players who are trying out for the school basketball team.

8 of them are more than 6 feet tall while 7 of them have good aim.

We are to find the probability that the coach would randomly pick a player over 6 feet tall or a player with a good aim, considering that no players over 6 feet tall have good aim.

P (more than 6 feet tall) =
`(8)/(27)`

P (good aim) =
`(7)/(27)`

P (over 6 feet tall or good aim) =
`(8)/(27) +`
`(7)/(27)` = 5/9
